मुझे पता चला कि मैं किसी विषय को चुनकर उसे धुंधला करके एक अच्छी तस्वीर नहीं ले सकता। मैंने पाया कि मुझे शुरुआत से ही 'बिना-फोकस' के देखना सीखना होगा।

I found out that I could not choose a subject, throw it out of focus, and then have a good picture. I found that I had to learn to see No-focus from the beginning.

मैंने हमेशा अपनी तस्वीरों में सच्चाई बनाए रखने की कोशिश की है। मेरा काम, चाहे वह यथार्थवादी हो या अमूर्त, हमेशा धर्म या कल्पना के किसी न किसी रूप से जुड़ा रहा है।

I have always tried to keep truth in my photographs. My work, whether realistic or abstract, has always dealt with a form of religion or imagination.

मुझे लगता है कि मैं तीसरे व्यक्ति यानी दखलअंदाज फोटोग्राफर के विचार को हटाने में सफल रहा हूँ।

I think I have been able to eliminate the idea of a third person: the Intruding Photographer.

मैं तस्वीर की बनावट के जरिए लोगों को पत्थर, पेड़ और बाकी चीजों को ऐसे पढ़ना सिखाना चाहता हूँ, जिससे वे उन्हें ऐसे समझ सकें जैसे कि वे किसी पन्ने पर लिखे हों। मुझे लगता है कि यह किया जा सकता है।

I want to get people to read stone, tree, so forth & so on through the construction of the picture, to lead them to these things exactly as if it were written out on a page. I think it can be done.

मैं तस्वीरों के कई अलग-अलग समूहों पर काम करता हूँ जो एक-दूसरे पर और साथ में असर डालते हैं - जिनमें कई अमूर्त शैलियों से लेकर अतियथार्थवाद का एक रूप शामिल है। मुझे एक उपदेशक कहा गया है - लेकिन असल में, मैं ज्यादा दार्शनिक स्वभाव का हूँ। मैंने बिना किसी भाव या सामग्री के कभी कोई अमूर्त तस्वीर नहीं बनाई। ज़ेन (Zen) की पृष्ठभूमि की गहरी समझ मेरी सभी तस्वीरों को प्रभावित करती है। ऐसा कहा गया है कि मेरा काम किसी भी अन्य फोटोग्राफर की तुलना में ले दुआनिएर रूसो (Le Douanier Rousseau) से मेल खाता है - एक तरह से बिल्कुल अकेले रहकर और ज्यादातर अपने ही भीतर से प्रेरणा लेकर काम करते हुए - मैं महसूस करता हूँ कि मैं एक आदिम फोटोग्राफर हूँ।

I work in several different groups of pictures which act on and with each other - ranging from several abstracted manners to a form for the surreal. I have been called a preacher - but, in reality, I'm more generally philosophical. I have never made an abstracted photograph without content. An educated background in Zen influences all of my photographs. It has been said that my work resembles, more closely than any photographer, Le Douanier Rousseau - working in a fairly isolated area and feeding mostly on myself - I feel that I am a primitive photographer.

मुझे स्पष्ट और सीधी बात पसंद है, भले ही कुछ लोग यह सोचना चाहें कि वे चीजें वहाँ हैं ही नहीं, और समय के साथ वे गायब हो जाएंगी।

I like the obvious statement, although some people might wish to think they aren't there, that they will go away with time.

... अगर [एक तस्वीर] अविश्वसनीय रूप से वास्तविक है तो वह अति-वास्तविक या किसी अन्य प्रकार की अति-वास्तविक बन जाती है, जो वास्तविकता से भी बेहतर होती है... मुझे लगता है कि यह इतनी मर्मस्पर्शी भी हो सकती है कि आपको उस चीज के प्रति करुणा का एक हल्का सा अहसास हो जाए।

... if [a photograph is] unbelievably real it becomes superreal or another kind of super real, better than real... [it] also can be, I think, so heartfelt that you almost can get a pang of compassion for the thing.
